Hi there i'm a newbie at djing, I've been spinning a couple days now. My question is how do I record my music from the mixer to my computer? What softwares and hardwares are required for this?

Thanks in advance!

Rca cables from your rec. output if ur mixer into the line in of your soundcard. a good program for recording is Audacity

RCA Cables come from the Rec output of your mixer.

Get one of those y-splitters, and this plugs into the Line in on your comp.

I use Cool Edit Pro for recording.

Hey thanks for the replies guys but i'm so newb at this :/. When you said plug rca cables into rec output, where is the rec output located? I do have an OUTPUT section in the back of my mixer, there are 4 spaces, the top two are being used for my speakers, then there are two more on the bottom. Are those the places i plug my rca cable to? I use a VESTAX PCV-275. Also, will I be needing an amp for this, I dont have an amp because I am using powered speakers to play music.

thanks

How about you read the manual, eh??? find RECORDING OUT, just like both of the other guys said. Get an RCA to 1/8" line connector, and then use a 1/8" cable to connect to the line in on your computer (or if you have a cable with RCA on one end and 1/8" connector on the other, then you can of course use that instead, it's even better).

Now you have audio running into your computer, then you can use a program like audacity to record the signal. If you don't know how to do that, then read the manual for audacity!
